Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Molina Healthcare of Washington, Inc., has been selected by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to negotiate and enter into managed care contracts for the North Central region of the state’s Apple Health Integrated Managed Care Program. The new contracts will allow only selected Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to provide the full continuum of behavioral and physical health services that are available to beneficiaries for the entire regional service area.

Molina currently provides Medicaid physical health services throughout Washington State, including to beneficiaries in Chelan, Douglas and Grant counties composing the North Central region. Beginning in April 2016, Molina was one of only two MCOs selected by the state HCA to provide fully integrated behavioral and physical health services through the Fully Integrated Managed Care Program in the Southwest region of Washington. Molina Healthcare of Washington was selected by HCA for the state’s north central region pursuant to the request for proposal it issued in February 2017. The start date for the new contract is scheduled for January 1, 2018.

“Molina is honored to be selected as one of the plans that will offer coordinated and fully integrated behavioral and physical health care to members in Chelan, Douglas and Grant counties,” said Peter Adler, president of Molina Healthcare of Washington. “We’ve already seen significant benefits providing ‘whole-person care’ under the Fully Integrated Managed Care program in the Southwest region, and we look forward to building on that success with the addition of the North Central region.”

The new Apple Health Integrated Managed Care program combines physical and behavioral health services and will include a separate contract for behavioral health wraparound services, which has not traditionally been covered under Medicaid managed care.
